ERNEST KAUFMANN AND ANTONY WEBER, OF PHILADELPHI, PENNSYL VANIA, ASSIGNORS TO ERNEST KAUFMANN.

Letters Patent No. 82,005, dated September 8, 1868.

IMPROVED BUTTER-COOLER.

TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

Be it knownthat we, ERNEsr KAUFMANN and ANTONY Wanna, of the city and county of Philadelphia, and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Butter-Coolers; and we'do hereby declare that the following is a full and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon.

The nature of our invention consists, in the first place, in making the drip-chamber removable, so as t0 readily clean out the lower part of the cooler.` Heretofore the chamber has been made fast, and no provision made to clean out the space into which the cover turns. p l

In the second place, it consists of' slip-collars, which hold the journals or pivots of the cover in place, instead of' detachable caps, ordinarily used, which are liable to get mislaid or lost when the cover is taken off to clean it. n

In the-third place, it consists of a spring-fastening for the cover, which holds it securely in place.

In the accompanying drawings, which make a part of this specification- Figure lis a plan or top View of the cooler, with the cover turned down into the space c.

Figure 2 is a vertical section, at the line x :e of 5g. l.

Figures 3 and 4 are views, at right angles with each other, oi' one of the slip-collars E.

Like letters in all the figures indicate the same parts.

A is the lower part of the cooler. B is the cover, whose journals a a have bearings, b b. C is a ring, which is attached one-halt` around the part A, and which is cut away on its outside the other half, to forni the slot 0l, for the cover B to ne turned down through into the space e, in opening the cooler. D is the drip-chamber, whose rimfrests in the annular rebate g of the ring C. We make said chamberseparate from the part A, as described, so that the space e maybe readily cleaned out. In ordinary' coolers, the said chamber s madefast, and consequently no provision is made for cleaning out the space. l'

Instead of forming the upper halt' of the bearings for the journals a of loose pieces, as in the ordinary coolers, which are liable to be misleid or lost, we provide collars E, which are slipped around the bearings b b and the `journals aa. The said collars have slots, h h, which provide for slipping them over the feathers z'z', to bring them into their places. Then the weighted endj causes them to turn partly around, as seen in g. 2, to prevent them slipping back. One of said collars E is represented in detail in figs. 3 and 4. F is the butterplate. G is a spring, for holding the cover B in place, as seen in iig. 2.

Whatwe claim as our invention, and desire to( secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. The construction of the part A with the ring C, and combining the chamber D therewith, substantially in the manner and for the purpose above described.

2. The combination of the slip-collars E, journals'a a, and bearings b b, with the part A, and cover B, and spring1 C, substantially as described, and for the purpose set forth.

In testimony that the above is our invention, we have hereunto set our hands, and aixed our seals, this twenty-sixth day of June, 1868.
